Looking for a simple chicken dish? This Easy Balsamic Chicken recipe will work! A delicious marinade of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and crushed red pepper creates amazing flavors on your perfectly grilled chicken. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breast halves, skinless, boneless (1 pound total)
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound each lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to make an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Remove plastic wrap.

Place the chicken in a shallow dish. In a small bowl or small glass measure, combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cover and marinate 1 to 4 hours.

Place chicken on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 170 degrees , turning once and brushing with marinade halfway through grilling time. Discard any remaining marinade.
